Nadie_AZ:Ryan, the House GOP's budget guru and most prominent policy thinker, had missed all 19 House votes since he was chosen as Mitt Romney's running mate last month. On Thursday, he came back to vote on a series of routine bills, which reunited him with his biggest admirers - House conservatives.

Budget Guru? I'm still waiting to find out who his powerfully placed gay lover is.

I love that, "Ok, what we're gonna do is: Add 10 trillion in new debt, obliterate every social safety net, make contracts one way streets by which large enterprises assert their dominion over smaller ones, poison the air, land and water, then we wait for the magic of 2% unemployment forever, and Jesus showering us with gold to save us! It can't miss!!" makes someone a "budget guru."

Ryan is unlikely to come back anytime soon. And even his colleagues think that's a good idea.

"I'm glad he's coming by to say hi to everybody before the vote. My message to him is, 'Get out of here! Get outof here!'" said Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). "We don't need you here. We need you in Iowa or Florida or something!"
